` mIgAND-SPINNING MACHINE.

' i l l. mi l The Schedule referred to in these LettersA Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom it md/jfconcern.-

Be it known that'I,`-Ba1.vmm A. Ganar, ofLoekport, in the county of Will, and Stateof Illinois, have p `invented a new and valuable Improvement' in Spinning, Doubling and Twisting-Machines; arid I do hereby declare'that the' following' isa full, clear, and exact description ofthe construction and operation of .the"same, reference bein had to the annexed drawf ings, making a part oft is specification, and to the letters and guresof reference marked thereon.v g

Figure Ilof the drawingsis a representation of a Q ,planview of my device.

I Figure 2 is a longitudinal section of the same.` Figure 3 is a detail. p

, My invention relates to spinning-machines; and i 1t consists mainly in constructing improvements upon the device of B. A. Grant and J. P. Ooate, patented August, 1866, said improvements consisting in novel means for throwing the'windlass in gear and opening the clamp `that holds the lrolls; in improved Ymeans for holding the clamp open, and in stopping the carriage at any desired point.

The letter A of thcdrawings represents a qnadran.

I gular frame, the vupper longitudinal bars of lwhich are` arranged to serve as atlack'or carriage-way for the --carriage hereinaftermentioned.` I y Theletter B represents a. carriage, constructed to run back and forth upon' the top of the frame A, as

shown.. y n

Upon this carriage I adjust the cylinder and guide -for holding the rolls, in the manner'represented, the

cylinder being lmarked c, andthe guide-roller c. v

The letter d represents a pulley adjusted on the 'cross-bar, at the Vrear end ofthe frame, and letter e represents a rope passing over said pulley and having its front end fastened to the-windlass g. '.lhe windlass gf is constructed in the form and arranged in the frame The letter 'i represents asmall cogged wheel, by,y

lwhich the windlass `is operated, as hereinafter mentioned. 1 A

The letter D represents a shaft operated by a clank, as shown, and upon which I attach the pinion n.' This pinion meshes into and operates with the cogged wheel on the windlass, when throwni'n gear therewith, as

hereinafter stated.

The letter o .represents @band-wheel, attached to the end of shaft.D,'as"shownl `Letter p represents a pulley, attached to a sideleg of the-frame, and operated by a band, or cord fr, passing over the shaft D. Igmake a knot on this pulley` cord, to aid in ringing thevbell, as hereinafter men-A tioned.

' The letters represents-abellghandle, bent iu the manner `shown, and pvoted'to the lower side'yof a cross-bar of the frame. The rear end of this handle is made in the form of a crotch, holding the cord r between'4 its crotch, and allowing it to move therein. `Whenever the knot on the cord is moved around t0 the crotch of the `bell-handle, it presses the same downward, and therebyfcauses the bell to ring. The 4letter trepresents a pulley, ailixed as shown,

and letter u, a band, or cord, connecting it-with the shaft E. l t

Letters c represent the spindles, operated by cords passing over the shaftE, in the usual manner.

-The letter H representsthe hinged guide, which aids -in guiding the yarn on the'bobbins, in the ordinaryway. .y

The letters K represent feed-bars, hung on the inside of the frame, by pivots attheirrcar ends, re-v spectively, `and resting .upon the @swinging frame a', I attach a small wire, or pin,.to the side of one or both of these feed-bars, which, when the bars are raised,

is made to catch against a dog, or stop upon the lower side of the carriage, and prevents a friyn'ther backward y movement of said carriage.

.The letter Y represents a sliding bar, arranged for throwing the windlass 'in and out of gear, its rear end being attached to the frame c', and its front end extending forward of the spindles, as represented. On' the inner side of this bar is a pin, which, when the bar is drawn forward, is brought against the lower end ofthe pivoted bar c', in whichl the right-hand journal of the windlass rests, and draws the same forward until the `teeth of a pinion thereon mesh and work with the teeth of the pinion fn..

To place the windlass in gear, I draw the bar y forward. i

. y.lhe spindles are actuated by a band passing around the band-wheel o and pulley t, which said pulley and band-wheel, being connected with the sha: E, in the manner set forth, serve to give it motion. Thismotion is communicated to the spindles by means of the bands connecting them with said shai, as above stated.`

WhatI claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is--f g The combination and arrangement of the sliding bar Y, swinging frame a', feeding-bar K, pinions 'i and K n, and the pivoted bar c, all constructed and operating substantially as and for the purposes specified.

In testimony that I claim the above, I have here unto subscribed my name, lin the presence of tw o witnesses.
